Which flavors of cupcakes, pies or cookies can I chose for my wedding?
Our cupcake menu changes each season and we have many flavors available each season. You can choose a variety of flavors, even those we don't currently have on our menu. Our other desserts have a standard menu available year-round with many flavors to choose from!
Can you customize the cupcake decoration to match the theme of my wedding?
Yes, we can! This is what we enjoy doing and what makes weddings so special. We work closely with you and those who are helping you plan your wedding to create just the right cupcake and presentation for your event. We'll work with wedding planners and florists to integrate floral arrangements and other special touches to the presentation of your cupcakes.
Do you require a minimum order?
No, we do not. Understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all wedding, we are set up to accommodate large weddings, as well as the intimate backyard-wedding with just a few close family members and friends.We can also provide you elegantly decorated, custom cupcakes that complement your wedding, rehearsal dinner, wedding shower, bachelor party, bachelorette party, bridal tea, or engagement party.
Do you offer tastings or a way to sample your desserts?
Yes, we do offer tastings. Once you have decided you want to have Take the Cake at your wedding, contact us to set up a time to schedule your flavor tasting. A 50% non-refundable deposit of your wedding order is due at your flavor tasting.
What can I expect to pay for desserts? Do you offer price breaks?
